US Immigration from Ukraine

Starting last evening, and all day today so far, if I try to access our online account via the old website the verification codes don't seem to be coming back to our email address. This problem only started happening yesterday evening. No issues previously.

Are any others having the same problem?

Hi:

My MIL had her interview last Friday. As I wasn't present, I can only go by what I was told.... So the interviewer called her in because the paperwork seemed to have a mistake. A checkbox that was marked yes instead of no in section where was asked if you where ever part of the Communist Party. MIL was born in Russian Federation and is a Ukraine national. Long story short, my question is about the length of time till GC is issued. The interview went well and approved. I checked online and USCIS website has not changed to approved still. Should we be concerned or just wait patiently.

Thanks for any answers.

Question for the board. Our local USCIS office just revised its processing time for N400s and now we are officially outside normal processing time (dubious honor). In submitting an online service request, we now have an SR#.

For those who did this themselves, how quickly did you hear back from the USCIS? Just trying to ballpark when we might get some news.

I would like some guidance from people who have prior experience with the use of a writ of mandamus for immigration purposes. I don't want amateur responses. Either an immigration lawyer or someone with firsthand knowledge of the process please.

We have now hit the one-year mark for our N400 and TWO-YEAR mark for our I-751 and are now at wit's end. We're on the cusp of going with a WoM. This is because the senator's office is about as much help as a bad case of acne and we see others from our local USCIS office in the same exact situation who have been waiting on their N-400 for months longer with no movement. This whole situation is absolutely ridiculous, unacceptable and inexcusable.

It seems if nothing changes we will technically be considered outside normal processing in early December.

1) What additional steps should we take before we go the WoM route? We have made periodic inquiries at the USCIS. We engaged our senator's office TWICE with nothing coming from it. Do we first wait until we are outside of normal processing and then get a Tier 2 officer involved? I want to make sure we lay the proper groundwork as a foundation for a WoM if all else fails (i.e. "Yes, your Honor, we did do X, Y and Z with no movement or results")

2) What are the criteria for a WoM to be successful? What are all the steps to take initially? (maybe this is a repeat of question #1 above)

3) We have BOTH an I-751 and N-400 outstanding. So would this be TWO WoMs? If a WoM runs circa $5k, would that hit our wallet to the tune of $10k?

Thanks in advance for any valuable guidance experienced people can offer us.

I have applied for my brother I-130 (F4) back in 2015 and his case was approved, but the case with NVC waiting on Visa availability (likely another 7 years or so). He, and his wife, are eligible for U4U program. Would there be an issue with getting him approved for a parole and could this possibly hurt his immigration case in the future? For now, the intent would be to stay in the US for 2 years or so, and return to Ukraine if possible.
